epilogue.

-

He's amazed she's
so surprised, so giddy, that he's alive and here.

After all, she came
back from the dead. Surviving something like that… he gave up his
humanity, his pride, everything for her. He wouldn't let himself
die like that, not so close.

Not and fail his
beloved Eris, Hilda, and if they're not quite the same he's
changed as well. It's been a very, very long time since she kissed
him, and he's always been addicted to her kisses, and spent these
ages without her in withdrawal.

She's dancing with
glee and he can't help but smile.

Beloved.
